Cons of using Facebook

…all of these can be alleviated by speaking to me, Sharyn McCaskey

Social media may not be suited to every business.

If you are unprepared and launch your Facebook presence without proper planning, you could waste valuable time and money.

Some of the possible disadvantages you should be aware of are:

Not having a clear marketing or social media strategy may result in reduced benefits for your business. – I can design this with you.

Additional resources may be needed to manage your online presence.

Social media is immediate and needs daily monitoring. – $99 per week consider one add in the paper is around $600. For six months solid marketing of your brand, my cost if you wish for me to manage your presence is $2574.00.

If you don’t actively manage your social media presence, you may not see any real benefits. I will manage it daily for you.

Greater exposure online has the potential to attract risks. Risks can include negative feedback, information leaks or hacking. I will manage these in a professional manner and remove any spam.

Whatever the risk, preparing your policy and procedures carefully beforehand can help you manage the risks. False or misleading claims made on your social media channels by your business or by a customer can be subject to consumer law. Customer fan posts and testimonials that are misleading or deceptive to other customers, particularly about competitor products/services may result in your business being fined.

Everything we do on Facebook is within the ACCC guidelines.

It is important to note Facebook is NOT a selling tool.

It is a tool that is there to showcase your business and remind people of your brand, so that they get to know, like and trust you, then when you are needed they know EXACTLY who to refer, use, call, contact and buy from.
